Reviews for the Xiaomi Mi Note 2

90% Xiaomi Mi Note 2 review
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The Mi Note 2 was wrongly overshadowed at its launch. This is a gorgeous big-screen Android phone with very decent performance, a great camera and plenty of storage. We'd like to see a Quad-HD screen on Xiaomi's flagship phone, but this one should prove plenty sharp and clear. Google apps are not preinstalled, but there is a workaround if you are happy to do some tweaking.

Once you get to know the device inside and out, you’ll soon realize that the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 offers an experience that is quite compelling in both hardware and software, and instead of just being a clone, is instead a worthy alternative to the Galaxy Note 7.

80% Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Review: Curved-edge Values
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
If we were getting this device for the price it goes for in China, converted directly to USD, it’d be a real deal. As it stands, we still need to go through 3rd-party retailers to get the device. I mean the standard 128GB version in China, which can be found for around RMB 3299 which is around $480 USD, compared to the version we have. We have the version called Mi Note 2 Global.

Xiaomi’s curved Mi Note 2 put to the test
Source: Fudzilla Archive.org version
The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is not a Samsung Note 7 rip-off, but even if it was, the Note 7 is dead anyway. The Note 2 is not original either. It’s not a cheap phone, but it’s still somewhat cheaper than similar devices from mainstream brands. It’s might not be as big as you’d expect from a 5.7-inch beast, yet it doesn’t exactly have a small footprint (Samsung still beats it on account of its smaller bezels, made possibly by the curvier AMOLED display). That’s sort of our problem with the Mi Note 2. It feels like it was designed by a committee.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 review

We approached the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 review with high expectations. The vacant spot left by Samsung's phablet this fall season was prime for the taking and we really wanted to see the Mi Note 2 as a product that's as at least as much disruptive as its pedigree suggests.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Review: More Than Just A Galaxy Note 7 Lookalike
Source: Forbes Archive.org version
Is the Mi Note 2 going to win acclaim this year? Probably not. The unveiling of the Mi Mix all but guaranteed that it’ll be taking a backseat. But priced at just $413 ($2800 rmb) and $488 (3300 rmb), this is — like most Xiaomi phones — one of the best value smartphone on the market. You’re getting a Snapdragon 821 device, with 4/6GB of RAM and a great build for half the price of the Google Pixel.

Hands-on with the Xiaomi Mi Note 2
Source: Hardware Zone Archive.org version
The original Mi Note was well-spec’ed and launched with a lot of fanfare, but for whatever reason - maybe it’s the price, maybe it’s just the wrong timing - it didn’t help Xiaomi crack the premium smartphone segment. As Samsung stumbles, there’s now a sliver of opening here, a great chance that I’m sure the Chinese and Taiwanese companies would not let slip. The Xiaomi Mi Note 2, packed with all the technical and practical wizardry CEO Lei Jun and his team could muster, couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Well, at least for the good folks in China.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Unboxing & Preview – Xiaomi’S Most Elegant Phone!
Source: Gear Open Archive.org version
Concerning the packaging, we witness the new trend with the box. Instead of mimicking Apple’s iPhone box, Xiaomi came up with their idea which seems to be perfection. Xiaomi has decided to walk with simplicity and elegance as the package appears to be plain white with an engraved Mi Logo at the center. We observe no diagram of Xiaomi Mi Note 2 at all.

Xiaomi's Mi Note 2 looks just like a Samsung Note 7 (hands-on)
Source: CNet Archive.org version
While there's a version of the Mi Note 2 that will have LTE support for the US and lots of other countries, the bad news is that the phone will be China-only, and Xiaomi has no plans to sell this elsewhere, even in places like Singapore or Hong Kong. It's a surprising move, but perhaps Xiaomi is looking inwards to its homeground as it aims to regain market share, having slipped to fourth position as rivals Oppo and Vivo have surged ahead.
